heritage trails
Cultural walking routes
Heritage trails are designated routes that guide visitors through sites of historical, cultural, or natural significance.
A heritage trail might connect Civil War battlefields, historic buildings in a downtown district, or landmarks associated with a notable figure: We walked the freedom heritage trail through Boston.
The trails typically include markers, plaques, or guidebooks explaining each stop's significance.
